These works during the Year of the Pig are part of a series of years, which I have worked with since 2002, presented yearly and named after the Chinese calendar: Year of the Horse (2002/2003), Year of the Goat (2003/2004), Year of the Monkey (2004/2005), Year of the Rooster (2005/2006) and Year of the Dog (2006/2007). The full cycle of the calendar is twelve years. - For more information, see AV-arkki
